Pumpkin Tree fruit purée pouches recalled over plastic risk: FDA

Key Points:

• PT Organics Limited is voluntarily recalling select Pumpkin Tree Peter Rabbit Organics Banana & Strawberry fruit purée pouches sold at Target, Kroger, and Meijer nationwide due to a packaging defect that may cause strands of soft, food-grade plastic to be present in some pouches.
• The affected 4-ounce pouches were sold between March 6 and July 13, and no injuries have been reported; the recall does not affect other Pumpkin Tree products, flavors, or best-by dates.
• The recall was initiated after the packaging supplier identified defective pouches, with inspections confirming some contained plastic strands attached inside the packaging, an issue related to the pouch itself rather than the fruit purée.
• Consumers can identify recalled products by barcode 8 15367 01078 0, lane number 4 on the rear right-hand side seam, and specific best-by dates ranging from January to May 2027, and are advised not to consume the product but to dispose of or return it for a refund.
• For questions, consumers can visit Pumpkin Tree's website or contact their support line at 888-566-2363 during business hours Monday through Friday.
